Abstract

To asses the air pollution impact to the city of Mendoza, from a nearby industrial park, a model was developed based on a Geographical Information System (GIS). This system is used to evaluate the emission-immission patterns due to its ability to handle spatial data, source inventories, measurements and meteorology data. To evaluate the industrial park environmental data was gathered from a) continuous monitoring of NOx, Oj, CO and total particles (TSP) at different sites in the area, b) several, fixed stations of 24 h measurements of NOx, SOz, TSP and Pb, c) samples of particulate matter using a high volume pump at several measuring points, d) local meteorology and e) an emission inventory of the industrial park. The results of the model for different conditions will be presented for the main contaminants. Emission from vehicles where also considered in the urban area which permits a comparative evaluation of the impact of fixed sources to mobile sources.
